Notes on the Emptying of a City is a performance that acts as a dismantled film, in which a single narrator pieces together the sounds, images and voiceover of a documentary before a live audience. Based upon material generated in the city of New Orleans in the months following Hurricane Katrina, it opens a unique space of reflection at a time when the urgency of Katrina seems to have receded into a comfortable past as new economies of disaster and risk form around states of emergency around the world.
